Not exactly. The jakarta-commons sub-project has elected to split
commons-collections into at least two JARs--one containing the object-based
collections and one containing the primitive collections. Initially there
were three JARs: commons-collections.jar, containing everything, and
commons-collections-objects.jar and commons-collections-primitives.jar,
containing the object based and primitive based collections, respectively.
Recently the nightly builds have been changed so that
commons-collections.jar contains only the object based classes, so that
-primitives is the only JAR that contains the primitive collections.
Unfortunately, the nightly builds were not updated to actually publish the
-primitives JAR anywhere, making a pre-built binary version is unavailable.
Personally, I strongly prefer having a single JAR containing
org.apache.commons.collections.** available, but whether this is named
commons-collections.jar, commons-collections-all.jar, or anything else
reasonable isn't a signficant issue for me.
The sandbox primitives package is an alternative implementation of primitive
collections and possibly more, but is not currently a replacement for
org.apache.commons.collections.primitives.*. The 3.0 release of collections
will contain the current primitive classes.

If the snapshot currently on ibiblio doesn't contain all the requistite
classes I'll be happy to lobby the maven folks to upload something that
will, but I believe the ibiblio snapshot is sufficient.
In the interim, a hand-rolled build of commons-collections (either maven or
Ant should be OK) should contain the primitive collections in one JAR or
another. If I get some time today, I'll try to make a build available
somewhere, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get to it terribly soon.

PS: Note I'm cross-posting this to both dev@axion and commons-dev@jakarta,
as I think the commons-dev team should be aware of this issue.

My mistake. I had assumed based upon the changes to build.xml and from
Tim's report that only commons-collections.jar was available in the
nightly distro.
Tim, you'll want to grab both JARs from the nightlies for now.

Yes, of course. I don't think anyone expected otherwise. Thanks Craig.

Same here. I would prefer a single, easier to update, package. Although I
am getting used to multiple jar packages, since other projects are electing
to publish interface and implementation jars, and not providing a useful jar
containing both packages.

The nightly build process for Commons packages (for Collections, the
output goes to
<http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/nightly/commons-collections/>)
runs on my home server, and simply runs an "ant dist" on each package,
tars/zips up the output in the "dist" directory and the source, and
publishes them. You will note that recent nightly builds (such as last
night's -- 20030930) do indeed contain both JARs.
The nightly build process for Commons packages does not, and never has,
automated the publishing of the individual JAR files anywhere. In
particular, publishing anything to ibiblio is something that someone
else would need to be doing.

The nightly build process for Commons packages (for Collections, the
output goes to
<http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/nightly/commons-collections/>)
runs on my home server, and simply runs an "ant dist" on each package,
tars/zips up the output in the "dist" directory and the source, and
publishes them. You will note that recent nightly builds (such as last
night's -- 20030930) do indeed contain both JARs.
The nightly build process for Commons packages does not, and never has,
automated the publishing of the individual JAR files anywhere. In
particular, publishing anything to ibiblio is something that someone
else would need to be doing.
